Competition is still the problem to sort out

It's interesting how many retailers aren't doing well:

Should we expect the whole retailing to be more challenged?.

Except gross profit margin dropped, which is well expected, all others are quite good. MHJ have strong capability to execute.

looks good but some % gains are exaggerated by extra costs incurred last year
But this shows that they can come back I reckon, and in the meantime yield is acceptable
none held but getting interested again

Operating profit margin now close to 10%, and last year it was only 3.7%. Now MHJ is at net cash position. Impressed.
